I'm maturing and my partner isnt

[Amy2391]

Hi all,

I've been with my partner for 5 years now, we live together all be it with his family and have pets together.
I feel that I'm maturing and want things In life and he just wants to stay the same. I want to be debt free, save for a house and start a family whilst he is making no steps to save unless it's for something he wants and isnt keen on having a family and growing up.

We're both 27 years old, work full time and have a good income.
I suppose I'm fearing we are just going to drift apart from each other but I do love him and enjoy the time we spend together as we have same interests.

Has anyone been in a situation like this and what did you do?

Thanks

He isn’t necessarily immature,you both seem to want different things.which Is ok
You need to have the big conversation
Kids - yes/no
Married - yes/no/cohabitation

You’re right to want a family and settle down,he’s also right to be single and spend money on items he likes

It gets problematic if you mutually don’t want same things
